Mod Note: Our Triber Report has been taken live at this link (Renault Triber : Official Review). Please continue the discussion over on the new thread. Thanks!

New 1.0 turbo-petrol engine to power Renault Triber, upcoming HBC SUV. Also AMT is on cards.

New Renault-Nissan HR10 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine will sell alongside the existing BR10 unit.

At the Triber's unveil in July, we had reported that Renault was working on a more powerful turbo-petrol version of the sub-four-metre 7-seater. We can now confirm fresh details of the much-awaited, turbo-petrol engine that will make its debut in India sometime in 2020.

Powering the Triber turbo, as well the upcoming HBC compact SUV, will be an all-new Renault-Nissan-developed, 1.0-litre, three-cylinder, turbo-petrol engine that carries the code ‘HR10’. Essentially a three-cylinder version of the four-pot HR13, 1.3-litre turbo-petrol unit, the engine will power a range of Renault and Nissan products in India from 2020. While the official power figures have not yet been released, insiders involved with the project say the engine will make close to 95hp. The three-cylinder engine is also said to be fairly sophisticated with dual variable valve timing and an exhaust manifold partially integrated into the cylinder head.

The new turbo engine will be sold alongside the existing 72hp and 96Nm, 1.0-litre naturally-aspirated petrol engine (code: BR10) that will receive an update before the BS6 emission norms kick in.

Renault is also working on an AMT auto option for the Triber, though it remains to be seen if the transmission will be offered on the turbocharged versions.

Renault Triber, HBC SUV to get turbo 1.0L engine - Post moved to a new thread.

Good news, as the Triber's 1.0 n/a motor is so boring & characterless. Sure, it does the job, but the engine is "adequate" at best. Even that's a compliment, frankly.

95 BHP means Renault hasn't gone crazy with the power extraction either. Let's hope that it doesn't have turbo-lag (the last thing you need with 7 people onboard).

Naivete question: Can some one point if the picture inset shows a turbo charger

Internationally, this engine produces 100 bhp@5000 rpm and 160 nm torque@2750 rpm.

Interesting that there is also a LPG /dual fuel version of the same engine. If they get it, then it will be a good alternative to the Wagon R as it will be a spacious 5 seater with good boot space despite being LPG powered.
It will also open up a big market in Ola/Uber fleet as a replacement for diesel Indica/Etios which are anyhow being discontinued

Renault India has begun road tests of its upcoming HBC compact SUV. A first set of spy shots have emerged from what looks like outskirts of Chennai, giving us a clear hint of what to expect from Renault's Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza rival.

This heavily covered mule seems to have a decent length, almost the entire four metres, in order to generate more interior and cargo room. This close-to-production mule also seems to have large 16-inch wheels and a sizeable ground clearance. As far as styling goes, the test vehicle has a typical crossover-like shape and a closer look reveals that the model shares a lot of parts with Renault models like the Triber (with which it shares its CMF-A platform) including the front doors and a few body panels like the front bumper, grille and even the hood.

A sneak peek at the interior confirms more part sharing with the dashboard, seats and even the steering wheel in common. A close look reveals that this could be the top-spec variant replete with alloy wheels, rear washer/wiper and other bits.

This new SUV will be powered by a new 1.0-litre three-cylinder turbo-petrol engine (codename: HR10) that will be mated to either a 5-speed manual or an AMT gearbox. There will not be a diesel engine on offer. Renault will showcase a close-to-production version of this SUV at the upcoming 2020 Auto Expo ahead of its market launch that is slated to take place in the second half of this year. The model will be positioned in the lower end of the compact SUV segment which means it will take on the likes of the Vitara Brezza petrol, the Nexon, the Venue and the Ford EcoSport, to name a few.

Expect more details on the upcoming Renault compact SUV in the coming weeks.
